First, it must have the right physical and chemical properties to be accurately printed, ensuring the structures maintain their intended shapes. "By developing a bioink that addresses both of these limitations, we demonstrate that neurons project complex processes in 3D and interconnect with other nearby neurons," Yao clarified.According to an earlier press release, the team employed a tissue engineering approach to bioprinting, using two types of materials: one with living cells and the other without.
Yao also explained that his team used electrophysiology recording tools in order to detect the electrical messages produced by neurons to measure voltage changes. They discovered that projections from neurons in the "gray matter" layer easily extended through the "white matter" layer, effectively creating a communication network between different layers.
